Winemakers write soon. "We would do well but there is no time ... You understand?" they invariably respond with air sorry to those who regret that the days do not do that twenty-four hours. "Writing, ah yes ... I thought about it ... "
laments that other ." I would have something to say ...". But nothing comes. The truth is that most prefer to far the work of the vineyard and cellar to knocking a computer. secateurs are in pen. more reason not to shun those who, like Catherine Bernard , jump into the water. It must be said that six years ago, the pen was his profession:
"One morning in February 2005, says the former journalist in the book she just published, I put a trellis , boots, hat hunter super-lousy earbuds with synthetic fur and I got into my car to go to cut (...) what would be my vines: one hectare of mourvedre and grenache. I would learn a few months later that was not the grenache grenache but marselan of an illegal variety.The seller did not bother to prevent it, of course.

Although "winemaker it sounds bad, it makes pochtronne ", as he pointed his elegantly training manager. Or if " bio anyway it's bullshit ".

Not bitter two cents, the winemaker will review the hard knocks and cheap shots. The 
small joys, doubts and joys too. Powdery mildew and downy mildew. "The Cyclops Philippe" , the chase does not settle the land. The uncertainty of the sky and the cellar. Complicity buddies and solitude of the winemaker. In short: the discovery of a profession which she already knows that "his life will not" to discover all the secrets, because "that ' a life of winemaker has resulted in too few wines .

She concludes: "At night, my body weighs a ton, I am a cube, a dense mass and gross, as women of Picasso paintings (...) The work makes the vain posturing will. It destroys the bustle of small me ".And we understood that she found her new life in a very personal definition of happiness.
